TRIGGERED BY FIRE🔥

The Emperor's heart fell to his ankle the moment he arrived at the abandoned maze. Fear and anxiety threatened greatly to choke as he stared at the entire structure which was on fire. A large crowd of soldiers and maid was gathered there trying their very best to put out the whacking fire before it were to spread. He swiftly dismounted his horse and ran up the the edifice which was gradually falling apart at the moment. He was closely followed by his escort, Cora, her twin sister, Vura and Xiera.

He found his brother and his aide already there. He walked up to the duo and asked if they had seen the Lady. None of the both had set eyes on her there. His heart beat erratically as he shut his eyes and tried to feel her presence. He Peter that she was no longer inside the abandoned maze, no longer in the vicinity infact because naked flames did things to her body and her mind. But then, he felt her, quite strongly as if she were holding unto him in her distress. She was still there, inside, trapped in the fire. He rushed towards the entrance.

'My Sovereign Liege, you cannot go in there!' A royal guard instantly blocked his path followed by three others, announcing his presence. And those who weren't too busy paid obeisance to him. 'The fire is too strong,' the royal guard continued, 'and it will be dangerous if you go into the maze.'

'There is someone inside the maze,' was all he said.

'With all dye respect My Sovereign Liege, there is none. No one comes to this place without a partner.'

'I say that someone is in!' he bellowed with angst.

'My Sovereign Liege, of you say so then I shall go in myself and look for this person. Please do not go into the burning maze. It is too risky for you to do that.'

'Get out of my way!' he roared as more guards came to block his path on realizing his intent. The Little Prince quickly came up to him with his aide, Octavia.

'First,' he urged him, 'calm down.'

'She is in there,' he rasped as he held unto his brother. 'She is in there Maximilian.'

'That is why you need to calm down First. You have to be stable to do this. Get down to earth.'

'But-'

'The fire is her element,' the Little Prince whispered softly to him. 'It cannot actually harm her physically and you know. We shall get to her First, we shall,' he assured him.

'Still, it is the perfect trigger. It can draw that which is not supposed to be Little,' he explained.

'I will go in and bring her out My Lord,' Vura instantly volunteered with hard determined eyes.

'I will go with you,' Xiera seconded her. The emperor said nothing to both, looking lost in his worry.

'Hurry then,' Octavia urged and the two headed into it with wet blankets from the royal guards. The emperor simply watched them go with apprehension.

'S-she is in there,' he began to tell the Little Prince once again. His eyes closed then. 'I feel her. I feel her too much. I feel the pain and fright. She... She... No! I cannot do this Little. I have to go to her.' The Little Prince pulled him into a tight embrace.

'No harm will come to her First. They shall find her,' he whispered soothingly.

'I hear her,' he murmured almost inaudibly. 'I can hear her.' This time, his voice was slightly louder than before.
